Canon EOS R5 C Full-Frame Mirrorless Cinema Camera (RF Mount, 8K/60p, 45MP) - 7626C001

For documentary filmmakers and independent content creators who need both still photography and cinema-grade video in one body, the Canon EOS R5 C is a hybrid powerhouse. It pairs a 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor with the ability to record 8K DCI at 60p in Cinema RAW Light, making it equally at home on a gimbal for run-and-gun shoots or mounted on a rig for narrative work. The RF mount opens up a vast ecosystem of high-performance lenses, while the compact body keeps your kit light for travel and location work.

Why choose it

The EOS R5 C stands out because it delivers cinema-quality 8K/60p RAW recording in a body that also functions as a high-resolution stills camera. Unlike many hybrid cameras that compromise on one side, the R5 C offers dedicated cinema features like timecode, waveform monitor, and Canon Log 3, while retaining the familiar EOS ergonomics and RF lens compatibility. This makes it a versatile tool for solo shooters and small crews who need to switch between photo and video modes without changing gear.

Ideal use cases

• Documentary and run-and-gun filmmaking
• Commercial and corporate video production
• Event videography where both stills and video are required
• Travel and content creation with high-resolution output
• Studio work requiring 8K capture for future-proofing

Good to know

The camera records 8K DCI at up to 60p in Cinema RAW Light, which requires high-speed CFexpress cards. For 4K workflows, it offers 120p in cropped mode or 60p in full-frame. The in-body stabilization works with RF lenses that have optical IS, but for best results with non-IS lenses, use a gimbal or tripod. The EVF and LCD are both high-resolution, and the vari-angle touchscreen is useful for low-angle shots. The camera supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for remote control and file transfer.
